SLAVONIC EUROPE
International Network for Slavonic Cooperation
Each time has its challenges and chances. We believe that the 21th century will be the century of the rise of a modern and democratic Slavonic culture.
The Slavs are the most important cultural family on the European continent totaling around 312 million people, encompassing more than 20 languages and dialectal continua and counting 13 Slavonic countries. On an international scale, there are more than 360 million Slavs living around the world. They are the only cultural group in Europe whose countries are situated in substantial numbers both inside and outside the borders of the European Union.
Parts of the Slavonic culture are located directly at the border between East and West of the European continent representing a natural and hence an ideal ambassador in the framework of the European Integration Process.
14 LANGUAGES
THE BODY – Diversity and togetherness between Slavonic people around the globe based on language and culture
Never before a common platform has been created for all Slavs in Europe and around the world to join their forces and gather under the roof of CULTURE.
JOINT FUTURE
THE SPIRIT – Slavonic Culture: Mutual affection and common devotion leading to a Slavonic societal revival in the 21st century based upon the unity of Arts, Democracy, Education & Economy
The architects of SLAVONIC EUROPE think globally, they act nationally, digitally and network-based. They draw on well defined objects and chose concrete examples. They include into their scope of activity all creative domains, which push the civilisation further and constitute together a cultural space based on concrete phenomena linked by mind & emotion: ΓΝΩΘΙ ΣΕΑΥΤOΝ – Know thyself – a process of self-awareness takes off and results, eventually, in the essential civilisatory dimension of HUMANITY as mutual respect and mutual solidarity among human beings.
LUSATIA GLOW
THE BEATING HEART – A new paradigm of smart integration as an innovative grassroots cohesion approach for a New EU with cross-border minorities as bottom-up driving forces
The LUSATIA GLOW (LG) project is an exemplary integration model based on a German-Polish-Czech cross-border democratic, peaceful and constructive civil society stemming from a small, but creative and dynamic Slavonic people of the Lusatian Sorbs / Wends, which can serve as a new cross-border grassroots integration model for whole Europe.
SLAVONIC HOUSE
THE FACE AND THE SENSES – A cultural ambassador, a venue and the place of progress for a better and finer civilization around the globe
The SLAVONIC HOUSE will be the face and the senses of SLAVONIC EUROPE – an excellent and unique place for cultural activities at the heart of the Brussels European Quarter and as a chain around the world.
